• Features
• Application Diagram
About this Guide
This guide contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the Extron
DMP128 Plus ProDSP Digital Audio Matrix Processor. In this guide, the DMP 128 Plus may
also be referred to as “DMP 128,” “the mixer,” or “device.”
About the DMP 128 Plus
The Extron DMP 128 Plus Digital Audio Matrix Processor is a 12x 8 audio mixer with broad
I/O expansion capabilities including:
• 8 auxiliary inputs via VoIP (V models only), USB, and internal audio files.
• 16 x16 expansion bus
• Dante 48 x24 AT channels (AT models only)
• VoIP (V models only)
• Digital I/O
The DMP 128 Plus features Extron ProDSP, automixing, AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation),
and USB audio for use as an audio-to-PC interface. The DMP 128 Plus offers a
configuration approach to DSP to simplify mixing, routing, conferencing, and room
optimization. Quick and intuitive configuration using the Extron DSP Configurator software
allows the DMP 128 Plus to be installed in very little time with easy-to-learn adjustments that
can be applied in real-time. A digital audio expansion port (EXP) allows two EXP-capable
devices to be linked together to expand input and output signal management and routing
capabilities. The DMP 128 Plus is ideal for presentation and conferencing applications in
boardrooms, courtrooms, and conference centers requiring advanced matrix mixing and
DSP.
In addition to EXP expansion capabilities, DMP 128 Plus AT models allow connection to a
Dante audio network for transporting audio across a TCP/IP network. This further increases
the DMP 128 Plus input and output expansion capabilities.
DMP 128 Plus V models can register up to 8 VoIP lines per device. The DMP 128 Plus V
can function as a VoIP interface, removing the need for dedicated VoIP hardware.
The DMP 128 Plus has no front panel controls. All configuration is performed using the
Extron DSP Configurator software from a host computer via Ethernet (recommended)
or USB. The rear panel RS-232 port allows for serial control via SIS commands. Signal
presence and clip LEDs for the twelve input channels and eight output channels are on the
front panel. Status indicators for EXP, LAN, and USB audio are also on the front panel.
DMP 128 Plus • Introduction 1
Features
• 12 mic/line inputs — on 3.5 mm 3-pole and 6-pole captive screw connectors.
• 8 line level outputs — on 3.5 mm 6-pole connectors.
• Extensive 52x48 internal mix matrix —A single DMP 128 Plus can be used as the
central audio processor for a sizeable system.
• USB audio interface — The DMP 128 Plus provides up to 4 channels of digital
audio sends and returns for simplifying implementation of systems with soft-codec
conferencing or computer based audio.
• AEC on input channels 1 - 8 (C models only) — Acoustic echo cancellation and
selectable noise cancellation with advanced algorithms allow fast convergence in
challenging situations including double-talk and the use of wireless microphones.
• VoIP capability supporting Session Initiation Protocol (V models only) — A single
DMP 128 Plus V model can be used for a single VoIP line or as a VoIP farm for up to 8
rooms.
• AT models include 48x24 Dante™ digital audio network expansion — 48 Dante
inputs (Rx) and 24 Dante outputs (Tx) via a 4-port gigabit switch allow flexibility in
building large audio DSP systems with multiple DMP, AXP, and AXI units.
• Remote port for ACP control panels — For audio systems that do not need a full
control system, Extron Audio Control Panels (ACP) offer flexible audio control, interfaced
directly with the DMP 128 Plus. Available panels are: ACP 100, ACP 106 D,
ACP 106 EU, and ACP 106 MK.
• Macros — Command sequences can be sent to the local device and external devices
via the LAN port. This allows a single DMP 128 Plus to act as the central interface from
a control system, sending commands to other DMP 128 Plus and DTP CrossPoint
units.
• 8 Aux I/O ports — Configurable digital audio connectivity allows these ports to be
configured as VoIP audio (V models only), USB communications audio, USB playback
audio, or audio file players.
• Advanced audio processing on all 8 analog outputs and all 16 direct EXP
outputs — Up to 24 speaker zones can be implemented on one DMP 128 Plus with
full processing for each zone.
• 8 audio file players — Up to 8 audio file players can be used to play back audio files
for system setup or as part of the system design. Pink noise, white noise, and sine
waves are included with the device. Any WAV, AIFF, or MP3 files up to 24-bit 48 kHz
can be uploaded.
• 16 virtual processing loops – Virtual loops allows great flexibility in sub-mixing and
processing.
• Lower latency — Newer, faster, and more powerful DSP chips mean maximum
performance resulting in a lower latency of 16 ms when fully loaded.
• Adaptive gain — A new adaptive gain processor that allows a given microphone input
to affect levels on any one or all other inputs and virtual returns, ensuring background
music and paging are the right volume, whether the room is quiet or noisy.+

Mounting
The 1U high, full rack width, 8.5 inch deep DMP 128 Plus mounts in the following manners:
• Rack mounting — Attach the DMP 128 Plus to a standard 19-inch rack shelf. The
following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the
DMP128 Plus in a rack:
• Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of air
flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the racks so that uneven
mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.
• Circuit overloading — When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit,
consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection
and supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this
concern.
• Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted
equipment. Pay particular attention to power supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
• Under-furniture mounting — Mount the DMP 128 Plus under the surface of a desk,
table, or podium.
• Free-standing — Attach the four rubber feet provided with the device to the bottom of
the DMP 128 Plus in the four corners and place the unit on furniture as desired.
NOTE: To mount the DMP 128 Plus using an Extron mounting kit, see the instructions
provided with the kit.

DMP 128 Plus • Installation 6
LAN Ports — One (non-v models) or two (V models) RJ-45 ports provide a Gigabit
H
network connection for control and VoIP traffic. The host PC or control system and the
DMP 128 Plus must be connected to the same network. Two LEDs indicate status.
NOTE: Only DMP 128 Plus V models have two LAN/VoIP ports. Non-V models only
have a single LAN port.
LAN 1 defaults:
IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway DHCP
192.168.254.254 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 OFF
LAN 2 defaults:
IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway DHCP
192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 OFF
There are three ways the dual LAN ports can be configured on DMP 128 Plus V models:
1. Control and VoIP traffic on one LAN port — Both control and VoIP traffic can be
transported via a single LAN port.
NOTE: By default, control and VoIP traffic are both transported on LAN 1.
2. Control and VoIP traffic on one LAN port using a VLAN — Both control and
VoIP traffic can be transported via a single physical LAN port while utilizing a VLAN
for VoIP traffic.
3. Control and VoIP traffic on separate LAN ports — Control and VoIP traffic can
be transported on separate LAN ports with unique IP configurations.
AT Ports (AT models only) — Four RJ-45 ports form a Gigabit switch for use with
I
a Dante network. The AT ports use Dante protocol for digital audio transport (AT) and
allow the DMP 128 Plus AT to connect to a Dante audio network to form a larger matrix
(see Dante Controller on page107). The 4-port switch can be configured as two
2-port switches for redundant Dante configuration. In redundant configuration, audio
traffic is duplicated. Ports 3 and 4 are the primary switch (PRI), ports 1 and 2 are the
secondary switch (SEC)(see Redundant Configuration on page117).
USB Audio Port — One mini USB type B port connects to a computer and allows the
J
DMP 128 Plus to function as a 4x4 audio interface with a Windows or Mac computer.
Available sample rates are 48 kHz/16-bit.
Reset Button and LED —The reset button returns the DMP 128 Plus to different tiers
K
of default states. When using the reset button, the LED blinks to signify the different
reset modes (see Hardware Reset Modes on page9). When not displaying reset
modes, the LED operates as a power indicator, matching the front panel power LED.

Input Building Blocks
Extron building blocks are a quick configuration tool that can significantly reduce
configuration time. An input building block is a collection of processor and gain settings for
an input processing chain. These building blocks have been designed by Extron based on
extensive use and testing with each intended application or specific device.
